Kirkus | October 15, 2020

“With the release of When They Call You a Terrorist (Young Adult Edition): A Story of Black Lives Matter and the Power To Change the World by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele, adapted by Benee Knauer (Wednesday Books, Sept. 29), teens can get to know one of the co-founders of Black Lives Matter, someone who is among the most influential figures shaping public discourse today. This edition of Khan-Cullors’ adult memoir packs the same emotional punch and is enhanced with questions at the end of each chapter that serve as a scaffold and inspiration for further discussion and action, making it ideal for classroom use. An intimate, self-reflective account of childhood, family, and community, the book will resonate with many while providing critical context and understanding for others. Khan-Cullors spoke to me from Los Angeles; the conversation has been edited for length and clarity.”
